Dominions 2 : Rankings and Tourneys ?

[BF_Napoleon]

Well, a FFA can be a problem, but shouldnt be. Even players that know each other can be fair players.

From my side of experience, FFA games are fair mostly. Sure there are always unfair players but what can we do ?

ONE GOOD thing we have at the site is that you can COMMENT games and your opponents ! You can say for example : Dont play him ! Unfair ! Or write some sentences about how the game went. So other players can see what happened in the game. The game becomes transparent for the community, so unfair players can be found very quick, unfair team games will become public.

Well, that all depends on how you define "fair". Two players that know each other likely have an understanding of exactly how the other will behave, and will be less likely to provoke the other into premature and potentially undesirable violence. That alone can amount to implicit collusion. On the other hand, it's far from sound strategy to attack everyone you see like a slavering Zebranky: You're simply much more likely to try peace with somebody you already know, than somebody you have no experience with and probably distrust as a result.

So what defines "fairness"?

Hey Norfleet !

Ok, lets try do define FAIRNESS :

First thing is that we have detailed RULES for FFA Games that ALL players must accept before starting a game.

Second as i mentioned before is, that the COMMENT function that the player know, helps behaving like rules want you to behave.

It makes no sence to ally with your friend when hundreds of other players can read about how you played.

A 100% fair ranking is impossible. Especially in FFA games. But people who start a FFA know that. 1on1 2on2 wont be a problem. But what can we do ?

I think its worth a try and we can do some Steps like BANNING players or giving them some minus points or something if the play unfair.

Such steps can be discussed in the community as well, as i ever say, FEEDBACK welcome :-)

Plus if you put me in a game with 3 guys AND a close friend, I'll kill him first. I've lost plenty of strategy games against the computer because my brother and I would rather annhilate the other than risk them winning the entire game :-D
